PRODUCTION DATA
In some cases, a feedforward capacitor can be used across RFBT to improve the load transient response or improve the loop phase margin. This is especially true when values of RFBT > 100 kΩ are used. Large values of RFBT in combination with the parasitic capacitance at the FB pin can create a small signal pole that interferes with the loop stability. A CFF helps mitigate this effect. Use lower values to determine if any advantage is gained by the use of a CFF capacitor.
The Optimizing Transient Response of Internally Compensated DC-DC Converters with Feedforward Capacitor Application Report is helpful when experimenting with a feedforward capacitor.
For this example design, a 10-pF capacitor C9 can be mounted to boost load transient performance.
